My neighbor and friend has two boys and no daughters so when she was invited to a tea party with an invitation for a daughter to join her, she “borrowed” our youngest. Our daughter was shy and tenuous to be someone else’s ‘daughter’ for the afternoon,  but she looked sweet in her pretty dress and her hair done special; and ended up having a nice time.

Yellow Checkered Dress was created using encaustic pigments painted over a print, created with xylan and a photograph, on a veneer panel.
